Often, these mines, as well as the pits, ponds, and piles of sediment are near or within the floodplains of a fluvial system. During flood events, the river can overtop and erode riparian areas that separate it from the mine, flowing into the pit and causing planform changes including avulsions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has mapped mining sites across the United States, but there are still multiple omissions. Google Earth Pro was used to collect geospatial point data on mines that are within the floodplain boundaries of rivers and creeks in the southeast, a region of high biodiversity. Google Earth extracted data were compared to USGS data using ArcGIS Pro, and their proximity to floodplains and channels was analyzed. Distances between the channels and pits prior to avulsion were referenced from literature (Mossa & Marks, 2011) and used to assess potential risk for other sites. It was found that out of the 1,856 total pits from USGS and Google Earth data, 25.9% were omitted from the USGS data set. This supported the conclusion that current data sets, while thorough, are still incomplete and that a better understanding of site location can reduce the risk of avulsions, which can impact infrastructure, property boundaries, flood risk, and ecological health.","PeriodicalId":92815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate research (Gainesville, Fla.)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smartphone interventions are a promising approach to reducing alcohol consumption. This study aimed to test whether a smartphone app designed to reduce heavy drinking (via feedback on the cued go/no-go task) would reduce reports of negative sexual outcomes, including unprotected sex and regretted sex. It was hypothesized that app use would be associated with fewer negative sexual outcomes, especially among women. Participants were young adult heavy drinkers (N = 49) aged 21 to 25 years old. Participants completed an in-person drinking session as well as a four-week field use period during which they used the app in drinking situations. Participants reported on their drinking consequences via the Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (YAACQ) at baseline, two- and four-week follow-ups, and six- and twelve-month follow-ups. No significant associations were found between app use and unprotected or regretted sex, but the results were in the predicted directions, especially among women. Given encouraging preliminary results, future studies with larger samples should test smartphone app interventions for young adult heavy drinking.","PeriodicalId":92815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate research (Gainesville, Fla.)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to identify the relationship between protein types (animal, dairy, plant, seafood) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). A cross-sectional secondary analysis using NHANES 2017-2018 data was performed on 4252 adults with an eGFR of >15 ml/min/1.73m2. At least one 24-hour recall was used to categorize the protein type. Descriptives, frequencies, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regressions were conducted using SPSS v28 with a significance of p<0.05. Participants were mostly female (50.1%), had a mean age of 50.1 years, and self-identified as non-Hispanic White (36.5%). A majority consumed animal and dairy products compared to seafood and plant products. A negative association was observed between consumption of plant proteins and inflammation on eGFR (p<0.05). In the adjusted regression model, non-Hispanic Black race had a positive influence on eGFR, while female and age had negative influences on eGFR (p < 0.001). Reduced consumption of plant proteins with elevated inflammation can decline kidney function. Future studies should focus on frequency and amount of proteins consumed and inflammation to reduce the progression of chronic diseases such as kidney disease.","PeriodicalId":92815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate research (Gainesville, Fla.)","volume":"12 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the various functions and goals of these El Sistema-inspired programs, and how they directly serve and impact under-represented communities. It also highlights the impact on the youth’s future and what these experiences tangibly and indiscriminately provide for their futures, be it beneficial or detrimental. This will also briefly touch on how MMP and YOLA’s approach to training young musicians subverts the idea of instrumental training typically being perceived as an activity only for those with few social and financial restrictions. Through virtual, individual interviews with various people that were either current alumni of these programs, recent graduates of college age, or adults in the field, their responses were recorded. This allowed for a holistic view of how these programs serve their students, thus resulting in answers that are representative of a larger population. Results showed commonalities between responses that trended towards highly positive results from being students in MMP/YOLA. In conclusion, this study clearly demonstrates that these programs have left positive, tangible impacts on their current and former students.","PeriodicalId":92815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate research (Gainesville, Fla.)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new wave of social media, especially TikTok and Instagram, arrives in parallel to increasing social awareness of previously taboo topics, like the focus of this research—pregnancy and childbirth. Women’s health issues, especially including the topics of menstruation, sex, pregnancy, and childbirth, were hardly spoken about publicly less than a decade ago. However, this is changing, and there is a growing number of women influencers using internet platforms to normalize conversations surrounding women’s health. Using an interview-based methodology, this research seeks to gather a better understanding of opinions on social media as an avenue for women’s health knowledge, and to answer questions about how the sharing of women’s health content on social media affects young women along with what this content reveals about the societal understanding of pregnancy and childbirth. This article primarily includes opinions and commentary from young female students at the University of Florida, in addition to some supplemental viewpoints from women’s healthcare providers. These diverse perspectives produce a more multifaceted understanding of how social media can be so impactful and therefore why it is able to shape perceptions of a condition such as pregnancy. .","PeriodicalId":92815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate research (Gainesville, Fla.)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that play a critical role in cellular signaling through their high density of G-protein-coupled receptors. One such receptor is the melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1). It is currently unclear how MCHR1 ciliary localization and MCH neuron activity modulate responses to psychostimulants. The objective of this project was to identify the role of primary cilia localized MCHR1 in modulating behavioral responses to cocaine. Male and female mice were subjected to conditioned place preference (CPP) to determine the rewarding effect of cocaine and locomotor activity tests. MCHR1 KO and MCHR1IFT88 KO strains exhibited increased acute locomotor responses and sensitization to cocaine compared to their control littermates. CPP testing showed that MCHR1 KO mice had a reduced preference to the cocaine-paired chamber compared to control littermates. In contrast, MCHR1Ift88 KO mice did not differ from control littermates in the development of CPP. Locomotor tests with MCHcre mice showed that activating MCH neurons 30min prior to cocaine administration resulted in decreased acute locomotor response and sensitization compared to mice that received saline and cocaine. These findings further support a role for MCH signaling in modulating response to psychostimulants and suggest that receptor loss and cilia loss impact responses differently.","PeriodicalId":92815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of undergraduate research (Gainesville, Fla.)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136142447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
